Blinded

My life right now consists of a lot of fundraising for the race, and with that sometimes comes stress. I have found myself getting worried about if I will be able to fundraise all $14,951, and until this past weekend, I would say I was “Operating in Fear” a little bit. I go to this bible study on Saturday nights, and someone from another churches youth group had a little lesson to preach before the main youth pastor did his message. He spoke on not operating in fear, and I was like okay god (while laughing to myself, because I knew that he was speaking right to me)… I’m sorry for not trusting you completely… I shouldn’t be scared about not being able to raise the funds, because I know you called me so I know you will provide for me. Then Sunday morning rolls around, and my pastor spoke on not operating in fear as well. Then Sunday afternoon I went home just thinking of how blinded I was given the fact that I have only been accepted to the race for a month and five days, and I have already raised over $2000!!! Then I just sat in my room thanking god for what he has provided for me so far, and telling myself that I’m not going to operate in fear any longer… It’s the little moments like this where I’m learning to trust God completely every step of the way. I’m still in awe thinking of where I will be standing this time next year while being the hands and feet of god, and spreading his love. I can not express enough how thankful I am for you people that have donated so far, it is a true blessing to have all of you in my life. Right now I am 14.12% funded, and we are getting closer and closer to my first fundraising goal of 5,000!! Once again thank you so much for those that have contributed so far… It means the world to me!
